    If they are not highly regarded would there be a consensus in favour of a tax on sockpuppets?

    We have been tasked with finding suggestions for new revenue streams in time for the pre-budget report in November. The money is needed badly so no idea is too outlandish!

    I agree.
    I regard all of you as raving internet nutters who are not real so the sockpuppets dont actualy matter.

    Indeed.

    I wouldn't get too stressed about it.

    In fact we've been known to go on holiday trolling other people's forums in the past so are in no position to get too sanctimonious about it.

    Andyw is now the stuff of legends but he made this forum difficult for a month or so. Eventually he overstepped the mark and was banned. They all do.

    What if you one day discovered you were actually all the people on this forum, and that you had multiple personalities, how brilliantly ****ed up would that be?

    You've led a sheltered life if you think the contractors on here are weirder than those you've met in the real world...

    Sockpuppets are a plague on this forum. I certainly don't have any. Oh no sirree! Instead I have the new concept of several people with one ID.
